Recipe by : Ariel Jasa, Mandaluyong City, Philippines |
This is a non-traditional way of cooking Barbecued Spareribs where the ribs are stewed in its marinade rather than cooked in a smoker, oven or grill to tenderize.
The ribs are cooked in a mixture of lemon-lime flavor soda or softdrink, together with soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar and banana catsup.
Then, the long chili pepper and the thai bird chili (siling labuyo) is added in the end for that extra zing.
At this point, the ribs can be broiled or set in the grill briefly to get that charred effect.
